Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Chef/Owner John Carver

From the OpenTable editors: It can take months to get into Chef John Carver’s wildly popular Italian restaurant, where there’s a custom woodfired grill at the heart of the industrial space. But it’s worth the wait for fresh pasta and epic steaks, like the cappelletti “bishop’s hats” stuffed with spinach and sauced with brown butter, alongside a 50-day dry-aged porterhouse “la Fiorentina.” Don’t miss the charred veggies, like roasted vine tomatoes with creamy burrata, and wash it all down with a house negroni.

    One of the most fabulous meals I've had in Austin in 33 yrs. The staff, the ambiance, the food...perfection!!! We went for our anniversary last night and they gave us a card, all the wait staff thanked us for spending our special night there. We felt extremely welcome! The food was out of this world. Wee got the HOT AND CRISPY COUNTRY ITALIAN BREAD, Chopped salad, full order of the TAGLIATELLE ALLA BOLOGNESE and half orders of the SPAGHETTI ALLA CHITARRA “A.O.P.” w/meatballs and HANDMADE POTATO GNOCCHI “GRATINATA” and donuts for dessert. For a fine dining experience, we could not believe the size of the entrees. We will be returning on a regular basis.

    We were getting ready to leave when a person came to our table and wanted to move us which was not necessary we had paid and I was finishing my expresso martini there was no reason to ask us to move to another table everything was fabulous until the end. She didn’t need to ask us to move I thought it was rude. I was finishing my drink we were done. We will be back the food and service was awesome.

    Fabulous food, service, and atmosphere. We were celebrating a birthday and the entire staff signed a card and we received a desert of our choice! We booked about 3 months out and chose to sit at the bar. Our server Alexia was great! She gave us recommendations and was super attentive. We will be back!!

    My wife and I chose Red Ash to celebrate our anniversary, and we couldn’t have been more satisfied. The food was absolutely delicious, the drinks were expertly crafted, and the service was both warm and professional. From start to finish, our experience was exceptional—we’ll definitely be returning!

    Surprised this place takes so long to get into. Wasn’t anything extraordinary but was good for the most part. My seating wasn’t ready when I arrived at my reservation time. Also was kind of surprised I didn’t receive a reservation reminder either. But one bartender was pretty annoyed about asking questions about the menu. It was pretty packed in there and noisy so made it a little hard to talk. Food overall was pretty good overall. One dish was undercooked slightly would be my only negative feedback on food. Experience was decent overall.

    First time to dine here. Reservations have been a challenge in the past. Everything we ordered was well prepared and delicious. Will visit again in the future to explore more of their menu.

    The food is delicious and all shareable. Don’t skip the crispy bread! The tomahawk ribeye was melt in your mouth. Cocktails generous and creative. Risotto was our favorite side. The decor is very cool. Pastas are fresh. Quality and value! Our server Miles was great.
